Using a non locking carabiner for rigging that also looks like it isnt even designed for tree work. Also making it were when its loaded with weight its towards the gate is also bad. Plus dropping stuff right in the fence you need a teacher you are dangerous.
I've been using these carbines for many years and they've always worked correctly, so I don't see the point in using others. And I only tie light branches to these carabiners. The fence was old and wooden, it was of no value. Most importantly, not one electrical wire was damaged! And this is the most important thing.
From the looks of it that's a steel carabiner and if you look one up on google they are rated for about 2000 kg (= 19.61 kN) and the lowest I could find with a similar size is rated for 570kg (=5.59kN) Plenty strong for the small branches he's cutting in the video... You do realize even sites like WesSpur sell non locking carabiners intended for "speed line slings" and such? In over 15 years personally I have yet to see the gate open up and then also allow the rope to slide out. Non locking carabiners are and should be prohibited for life support/climbing systems, using them to hook up branches to a rope is not an issue at all. The tree looks to be a birch tree. According to some quick research 1 cord of green birch weighs 1955.89 kg 1 cord of dry birch weighs 1357.15 kg the branches he cut are NOWHERE near enough to be equal to 1 cord (I am talking about each individual branch cut since he doesn't stack 6 of them at once), you don't need a science diploma to see that. All in all whatever he cuts in this video does not outweigh the rating of a steel carabiner that size.
@@rukinaa Thank you for responding to this hayter in such detail. It's like tying your dog to a chain from an aircraft carrier so that the chain doesn't break 100%.
@@ArboristAlone I don't think he's a bad person, he's a climber himself and at the end of the day we all do things the way we learned to do them or got used to doing them on our own.. If he feels safer using a locking carabiner to rig branches then that's good. out of all the climbers I know in real life I'd say it's a solid 50/50 on who prefers using locking and non locking carabiners for rigging. Both ways are widely accepted and neither are wrong. I just think it's rather unnecessary to go tell you or anyone they need a teacher because he estimates you're dangerous, there are better ways to convey a message that's based on his disagreement with your way of working.
I love the way you rig the long branches and tops
Do you only do Birch?
80% of the trees in my area are birch.
Climb safe homie love the videos
Добра работа. Много здраве желая ;)
Thank! Stay safe.
Спасибо огромное. Хороших заказов!
$120 seems super cheap for the work you're doing. I like the videos though!
Yes, it's cheap. But in my country, I can't take more. Our average salaries are about 500 USD per month.
